In Naked Knotted Neurons, a group of protesters, some injured, some choking on tear gas, escape violent confrontation with police and other forces by staggering into a safe house they find in the midst of chaos. Strangers to one another, they soon discover they are from different worlds: all were involved in protests, but in different places and times. A trio of dieties, Fate, Chance and Destiny, have gathered them together to charge them with a task: to create a new Hero to solve the world’s most intractable, knotted problems. How to get this message across? Puppets, riddles, and audience participation reveal the secrets the protesters need to fulfill this task.

#deepdream code informatique de l'intelligence artificielle de Google spécifique "Fractal DDC " développé et dédié pour un nouvel art à La Demeure du Chaos - The Abode of Chaos ou comment les machines perçoivent La Demeure du Chaos - The Abode of Chaos

 

et si leurs regards étaient ce qui se cache derrière la matrice que nous percevons en tant qu'humains? ces multiples miroirs sont peut-être un autre monde plus réel ou plus éthéré... NB thierry bonne lecture de ce post et ses images dantesques.

 

Depuis quelques temps vous avez peut-être vu circuler sur les réseaux sociaux des images étranges, affublées d'un hashtag (mot-clé) #deepdream.

 

Deep Dream est un programme d'intelligence artificielle mis au point par les ingénieurs de Google. Ces derniers travaillent à la reconnaissance d'images pour, entre autres, améliorer la pertinence des recherches dans Google. Le 17 juin dernier ils ont publié un billet intitulé : "Inceptionnisme : plus loin dans les réseaux neuronaux".

 

Dans ce post ils expliquent comment ils ont réussi, dans leurs recherches, à faire analyser une image mais surtout générer des formes par l'ordinateur. Pour que l'intelligence artificielle puisse mieux reconnaître ce qui compose une image, les ingénieurs ont commencé par lui montrer des millions de photos.

 

Plusieurs couches de neurones

 

L'intelligence artificielle fonctionne ici en un ensemble de réseaux de neurones qu'il faut se figurer comme différentes couches. La première est chargée de regarder les bords et les angles d'une image.

 

Les couches intermédiaires cherchent quant à elles les formes et les différents éléments présents dans l'image comme une feuille ou une porte. Les derniers réseaux assemblent toutes ces informations pour en fournir des interprétations complexes, comme des arbres ou des bâtiments.

 

Pour comprendre au mieux comment fonctionnent ces couches, les ingénieurs ont tenté de pousser l'analyse de certaines. Ils résument ainsi la commande faite au système : "Quoi que tu vois, on veut le voir encore plus." C'est alors que l'intelligence artificielle a généré des formes au sein des clichés.

 

"Si un nuage ressemble un petit peu à un oiseau, alors le système va le faire ressembler encore plus à un oiseau, expliquent les ingénieurs. En réitérant l’action, le programme va reconnaître un oiseau plus fortement et ainsi de suite jusqu’à ce qu’un oiseau très détaillé apparaisse, comme sorti de nulle part."

 

"L'inceptionnisme"

 

Les images varient selon le réseau neuronal qui est amplifié. Par exemple, plus on sollicite les couches inférieures, plus des traits vont apparaître. Si on stimule d'avantage les couches supérieures, ce sont des objets qui émergent de l'image.

 

Les ingénieurs précisent d'ailleurs que comme l'ordinateur a enregistré beaucoup de clichés d'animaux durant son entraînement, il en reproduit souvent. Et parfois en les mixant, ce qui crée des créatures étranges.

 

Pour ces chercheurs, le Deep Dream a ainsi créé un mouvement artistique qu'ils appellent "l'#inceptionnisme", en référence à l'architecture des réseaux neuronaux.

 

Au début, cette expérimentation ne cherchait qu'à améliorer l'intelligence artificielle. Mais lorsque les ingénieurs ont posté ce billet, de nombreux internautes se sont intéressés à ce Deep Dream.

 

Google a donc rendu public le code utilisé pour générer ces images. Des informaticiens s'en sont emparés et ont mis au point des logiciels et des interfaces pour que les internautes puissent s'en servir.

 

Ce qui ne manque pas de plaire à Google. Les chercheurs encouragent à taguer les images #deepdream sur Twitter, Facebook ou Google+. "Il sera intéressant de voir quelles images les gens arrivent à générer", écrivent-ils.

In Naked Knotted Neurons, a group of protesters, some injured, some choking on tear gas, escape violent confrontation with police and other forces by staggering into a safe house they find in the midst of chaos. Strangers to one another, they soon discover they are from different worlds: all were involved in protests, but in different places and times. A trio of dieties, Fate, Chance and Destiny, have gathered them together to charge them with a task: to create a new Hero to solve the world’s most intractable, knotted problems. How to get this message across? Puppets, riddles, and audience participation reveal the secrets the protesters need to fulfill this task.

 

Following their run at the International Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Penn Theatre Ensemble presented the company-devised piece Naked Knotted Neurons at Annenberg Center Live on September 4th and 5th, 2015.

Connectome

connectomes.org/

 

In their words:

"A connectome is a synapse-resolution mapping of connections between

all neurons in a model organism's brain. In other words, a

synapse-resolution circuit diagram of the brain. Current approaches to

mapping the connectomes of model organisms employ serial block face

scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) and transmission electron

microscopy (TEM). The only connectome that has been mapped out to date

has been from the flatworm, C. elegans, which has only around 300

neurons."

ConnectomeViewer

www.connectomeviewer.org/

 

In their words:

"The field of Connectomics research benefits from recent advances in

structural neuroimaging technologies on all spatial scales. The need

for software tools to visualize and analyse the emerging data is

urgent. ... The Connectome Viewer application was developed to meet

the needs of basic and clinical neuroscientists, as well as complex

network scientists, providing an integrative, extensible platform to

visualize and analyze Connectomics data.With the Connectome File

Format, interlinking different datatypes such as networks, surface

data, and volumetric data is easy and might provide new ways of

analyzing and interacting with data."

 

In addition to the viewer, this site also provides quite a variety of

datasets

that can be used to test different features and functions.

In their words:

"The HCP will map the human connectome as accurately as possible in a

large number of normal adults and will make this data freely available

to the scientific community using a powerful, user-friendly

informatics platform."

"Successful charting of the human connectome in normal adults will be

enormously informative. Even more importantly, it will pave the way

for studies that reveal how brain circuitry changes during development

and aging and how it differs in numerous neurological and psychiatric

disorders. In short, it will transform our understanding of the human

brain in health and disease."

Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, DC. These

collections include, besides the Michigan State University Collection,

the Welker Collection from the University of Wisconsin, the

Yakovlev-Haleem Collection from Harvard University, the Meyer

Collection from the Johns Hopkins University, and the Huber-Crosby and

Crosby-Lauer Collections from the University of Michigan.

Our purpose here is to provide some examples of ways in which images

and information from the Collections, in digital format, can be used

in educational, research and commercial enterprises. Millions of

beautifully stained sections from hundreds of different brains,

assembled in many locations over the past century can be made

available for a broad variety of purposes."
